Elvis Dumervil is now a Baltimore Raven.

Dumervil passed his physical and signed a five-year contract with the Ravens on Tuesday.

The 6-foot, 260-pounder was introduced at a news conference Tuesday.

"Going to a winning organization was important," he said.

The three-time Pro Bowl defensive end said he left the Denver Broncos for the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens, because he was looking to play for a winner in a different city.

"I just felt it was a time to change scenery," Dumervil said.

The Ravens welcomed him after an offseason in which they lost free agents Ed Reed, Paul Kruger, Dannell Ellerbe and Cary Williams.

Dumervilhad 63+ sacks in seven seasons in Denver. He agreed to reduce his 2013 salary from $12 million to $8 million, but the paperwork didn't reach the NFL offices in time and the Broncos were forced to release him on March 15th.

The sides continued negotiating, but the Ravens swooped in.
